Oldest Spider Web Found
Jun. 28, 2006

 

How long have spiders been weaving their webs? Two thousand years? Or maybe 10,000? The answer: Scientists have just found the oldest known spider web, and its 110 million years old!

The spider web was found in Spain. It was fossilized inside a pencil-thin rod of amber. The fossil dates back to the Cretaceous period.

Many people are afraid of spiders, bu obviously not the scientist who made this discovery. A lot of people would give their lives for spiders too. They are a "love um n ya hate um" kind of thing.
